I see the Linux prompt in the Rasberry B+, but not the BBB.

I have a used Raspberry B+ I bought off of flea-bay last year. I tried to load FPP and I read that if I get to the login screen, you were done. However, I don't see the GUI that I have seen on the forum and videos (loading screen with 3 Rasberry pi logos, a status bar showing the progression of FPP loading). Entering "FPP" in a web browser after you get the Linux login, supposedly is all you need, but It didn't work. When I entered the IP address that the Pi spit out in the Linux interface (192.168.1.....)I was able to get into the FPP site, but it doesn't have the setup for the network from what I can see. I do see the UI name and password setup options as well as the setting up a Remote, and if you are using a hat. Should I re-format the SD and try again?

Also, when I tried to load the BBB (brand new) I can't even see the display output. I am beginning to think that I have a bad micro HDMI to a regular HDMI cable (brand new) or the BBB has a bad HDMI micro port. Has anyone had problems with the BBB display port? I need to check the pins on the port to verify. (The pins don't look out of sorts on the cable or port after looking).

I do believe I have the proper files for the R-Pi and the BBB, but I will download with the latest and greatest tonight when I get home and see if it yields results.

I am going to get a Mini -> regular adapter and use a regular HDMI cable that I know works to dive a little more into the BBB not displaying problem.

I uploaded the 6.2 of R-Pi and I believe I am up and running. I won't be able to verify the BBB until my Micro HDMI adapter comes in. I hope all it needs is a new cable. We'll see. I will be downloading a media player to the Pi tomorrow. Thank you guys!

There is no point in hooking up an HDMI output to the Beagle. By default, the HDMI port is turned completely off on the Beagle. Nothing will be displayed there.

Wow! I wish I would have known that tidbit of info sooner , but you live and learn, and that's what it is all about in the end.

Is there a way that I will know if the download and installation were successful short of plugging in the BBB into the BBB16 board? I am looking at https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_HDMI for possible information.

Thank you guys! I was able to get the BBB and the Rasberry Pi OSes loaded. I didn't know what to expect from the BBB, because I thought it was going to be like the PI as far as being able to see the Linux prompt using the HDMI port. When I typed in FPP nothing happened, but when I typed FPP.Local I was finally able to acces it. Thanks for being patient with me. I'm moving in the right direction now!
